Apache collector

Apache is an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows.

This module will monitor one or more Apache servers, depending on your configuration.

Requirements

• Apache with enabled mod_status

Metrics

All metrics have "apache." prefix.

Metric	Scope	Dimensions	Units
connections	global	connections	connections
conns_async	global	keepalive, closing, writing	connections
workers	global	idle, busy	workers
scoreboard	global	waiting, starting, reading, sending, keepalive, dns_lookup, closing, logging, finishing, idle_cleanup, open	connections
requests	global	requests	requests/s
net	global	sent	kilobit/s
reqpersec	global	requests	requests/s
bytespersec	global	served	KiB/s
bytesperreq	global	size	KiB
uptime	global	uptime	seconds

Configuration

Edit the go.d/apache.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/apache.conf

Needs only url to server's server-status?auto. Here is an example for 2 servers:

jobs:
  - name: local
    url: http://127.0.0.1/server-status?auto

  - name: remote
    url: http://203.0.113.10/server-status?auto

For all available options please see module configuration file.

Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot issues with the apache collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.

• Navigate to the plugins.d directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that's not the case on your system, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins setting under [directories].

  cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/

• Switch to the netdata user.

  sudo -u netdata -s

• Run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector:

  ./go.d.plugin -d -m apache
